#selfie examines how image sharing and the Internet have changed the role of photography in the digital age.
The process of creating and disseminating imagery has fundamentally changed in the new context provided by digital photography, smartphones and more recently the ‘selfie’.
To create this work Tom commissioned bespoke computer software, which accesses the publicly available Instagram API and appropriates imagery tagged #selfie immediately after it is published.
A custom facial recognition algorithm then scans the downloaded images to identify instances of the now ubiquitous single person, arms length portrait.
These images are printed using a thermal receipt printer, one every twelve seconds and allowed to fall to the floor and accumulate during the exhibition.
Through physical transformation and defamiliarisation of this seemingly harmless content, #selfie highlights our readiness to trust the unknown and reveals its darker side; our unconscious participation in self-surveillance and the notional freedom it brings.

Every time someone hashtags the word #selfie on da gram it prints in this room.
Lying in untold numbers of selfies, waiting for this one to join them. Strange days indeed. Most peculiar, mama. #selfie #tomstayte #colorfactory (at Color Factory)
